If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger detec-
tion sensor may cause the warning light to flash and the warning buzzer to
sound even if a passenger is not sitting in the seat.

●

If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passenger,
and the warning light may not operate properly.

■

If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving

First check the following:

●

Is the fuel tank empty?
If it is, fill the fuel tank immediately.

●

Is the fuel tank cap loose?
If it is, tighten it securely.

The light will go off after several driving trips.
If the light does not go off even after several trips, contact your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.

■

If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential
lock indicator light blinks

Take the specified steps. (



P. 298)

If the brake system warning light or the malfunction indicator light also comes
on, or the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential
lock indicator light continues to blink after taking the specified steps, there
may be a malfunction in the engine, the brake system or the four-wheel drive
system. In this case, you may not be able to transfer between “H4” and “L4”
modes, and the center differential lock may not be able to be locked or
unlocked. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.

■

When the tire pressure warning light comes on

Inspect the tires to check if a tire is punctured.
If a tire is punctured:



P. 539

If none of the tires are punctured:

Turn the engine switch off then turn it to IGNITION ON mode. Check if the

tire pressure warning light comes on or flashes.



If the tire pressure warning light comes on
After the temperature of the tires has lowered sufficiently, check the

inflation pressure of each tire and adjust them to the specified level.
If the warning light does not turn off even after several minutes have

elapsed, check that the inflation pressure of each tire is at the specified

level and perform initialization. (



P. 479)

If the warning light does not turn off even after several minutes have

elapsed, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.



If the tire pressure warning light flashes for 1 minute then stay on

There may be a malfunction in the tire pressure warning system. Have

the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.

■

The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes

The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes such as

natural air leaks or tire inflation pressure changes caused by tempera-

ture. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the warn-

ing light (after a few minutes).

■

When a tire is replaced with a spare tire

The spare tire is also equipped with the tire pressure warning valve and

transmitter. The tire pressure warning light will turn on if the tire inflation

pressure of the spare tire is low. If a tire goes flat, even though the flat tire

is replaced with the spare tire, the tire pressure warning light does not

turn off. Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the proper

tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning light will turn off after a

few minutes.

Warning buzzer

In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard due to being in a noisy location
or audio sound.

WARNING

■

If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on

Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact your Toyota
dealer. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the
ABS system may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.

■

If the tire pressure warning light comes on

Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could

cause loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.

●

Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire

inflation pressure immediately.

●

If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pres-

sure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires.

If the tire is flat, change to the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired

by the nearest Toyota dealer.

●

Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate,

you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.

■

If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur

The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

LC200_OM_OM60R53U_(U)

WARNING

■

Maintenance of the tires

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly

when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the

vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure

label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of a dif-

ferent size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation

pressure label [tire and load information label], you should determine

the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire

pressure monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure warning system) that

illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) when

one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,

when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) illumi-

nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and

inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-

inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.

Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may

affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a sub-

stitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to

maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached

the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire

pressure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warn-

ing system) malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not

operating properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunc-

tion indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure

warning light). When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will

flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illumi-

nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups

as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illu-

minated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pres-

sure as intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a vari-

ety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires

or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire pressure warning

system) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pres-

sure warning system) malfunction telltale after replacing one or more

tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter-

nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) to

continue to function properly.

WARNING

■

Replacing a flat tire

●

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in serious injury:
• Lower the spare tire completely to the ground before removing it

from under the vehicle.

• Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in

handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury.

• Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immedi-

ately after the vehicle has been driven.

After the vehicle has been driven the disc wheels and the area

around the brakes will be extremely hot. Touching these areas with

hands, feet or other body parts while changing a tire, etc. may result

in burns.

●

Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to

loosen and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 97 ft•lbf

(131 N•m, 13.4 kgf•m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.

• Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off

the wheel while the vehicle is moving.

• When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been specifi-

cally designed for that wheel.

• If there are any cracks or deformations in the bolt screws, nut

threads or bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by

your Toyota dealer.

• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the

tapered ends facing inward. (

Engine oil selection

“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use Toy-
ota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy
the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-5 multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice
for good fuel economy and
good starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available,
SAE 5W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil
change.

Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):

• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which

allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.

• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil

when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity
(one with a higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is
operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.

How to read oil container label:
The International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee
(ILSAC) Certification Mark is added to some oil containers to help
you select the oil you should use.

Fuel information

■

Gasoline quality

In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gaso-
line you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of
gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer.

■

Recommendation of the use of gasoline containing detergent additives

●

Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to
avoid the build-up of engine deposits.

●

All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. contains minimum detergent additives to
clean and/or keep clean intake systems, per EPA’s lowest additives concen-
tration program.

●

Toyota strongly recommends the use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. For
more information on Top Tier Detergent Gasoline and a list of marketers,
please go to the official website www.toptiergas.com.

■

Recommendation of the use of low emissions gasoline

Gasolines containing oxygenates such as ethers and ethanol, as well as
reformulated gasolines, are available in some cities. These fuels are typically
acceptable for use, providing they meet other fuel requirements.
Toyota recommends these fuels, since the formulations allow for reduced
vehicle emissions.

You must only use unleaded gasoline.
Select octane rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher.
Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87
may result in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to
engine damage.

At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications of
ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A..

Non-recommendation of the use of blended gasoline

●

If you use gasohol in your vehicle, be sure that it has an octane rating no
lower than 87.

●

Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.

■

Non-recommendation of the use of gasoline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains an octane enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcy
clopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel
containing MMT is used, your emission control system may be adversely
affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If this
happens, contact your Toyota dealer for service.

■

If your engine knocks

●

Consult your Toyota dealer.

●

You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while accelerat-
ing or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.

●

Use only gasoline containing up to 15%
ethanol.
DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gasoline
that could contain more than 15% etha-
nol, including from any pump labeled
E30, E50, E85 (which are only some
examples of fuel containing more than
15% ethanol).

NOTICE

■

Notice on fuel quality

●

Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used the engine will be
damaged.

●

Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three-way catalytic
converters causing the emission control system to malfunction.

●

Do not use gasohol other than the type previously stated.
Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance
problems.

●

Using unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than the
level previously stated will cause persistent heavy knocking.
At worst, this will lead to engine damage.

■

Fuel-related poor driveability

If poor driveability (poor hot starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.) is
encountered after using a different type of fuel, discontinue the use of that
type of fuel.

■

When refueling with gasohol

Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle’s paint.

This information has been prepared in accordance with regulations
issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the
U.S. Department of Transportation.
It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchasers of Toyota
vehicles with information on uniform tire quality grading.

Your Toyota dealer will help answer any questions you may have as

you read this information.

■

DOT quality grades

All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Require-
ments in addition to these grades. Quality grades can be found
where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and
maximum section width.

For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

■

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear
rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a speci-
fied government test course.

For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2)

times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.

The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual condi-

tions of their use. Performance may differ significantly from the norm

due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences

in road characteristics and climate.

■

Traction AA, A, B, C

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C,
and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete.

A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking

(straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turn-

ing) traction.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading

584

LC200_OM_OM60R53U_(U)

8-1. Specifications

■

Temperature A, B, C

The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing
the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissi-
pate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified
indoor laboratory test wheel.

Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to

degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead

to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger

car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-

dard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the labo-

ratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire assume that it is properly

inflated and not overloaded.

Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either sepa-

rately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire

failure.
